We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; — 2 Thessalonians 1:3

Lord, make my faith stronger. “Give me more power.” “Give me more knowledge.” We pray for these things often, but when did you last thank God for making your love grow? Can you think of a more exciting thing to say about your church than, “Your love for each other is getting stronger?” Let’s pray and work for it!

Prayer

Holy God, fill me with your love so that I can truly share it with everyone I come in contact with every day. May this love expand and deepen so that others may perceive its advantages and understand that it is a direct result of the extravagant love you have shown me. Help my love grow by the power of your Spirit! In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
